BioWare recently confirmed that Mass Effect Andromeda wouldn't have any single-player DLC and that there would be no more patches for the main game.

But fans will be pleased to hear that EA may revisit the Mass Effect franchise in the future.

That's according to EA's Patrick Soderlund, who described it as a spectacular universe with a big fanbase.

"I've seen people saying 'Oh, EA's not making another Mass Effect'," he told GameReactor.

"I see no reason why we shouldn't come back to Mass Effect. Why not? It's a spectacular universe, it's a loved [series], it has a big fanbase, and it's a game that has done a lot for EA and for BioWare."

Soderlund warns that if it does return, it would need to be fresh and exciting.
